Undergraduate Programme
The programme consists of five types of courses:
- Basic or introductory courses
- Core courses
- Specialized courses
- Compulsory courses offered by other departments
- Foreign Language (2 courses, 3 credits each)
- Mathematics for Physicists (2 courses - MAS 004 and MAS 005)
The two courses from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are specifically designed to satisfy the math requirements of physics students as determined by the Department of Physics.
- Free electives
Students are required to complete 12 credits of University Electives outside of their main area of studies.
Basic or introductory courses are all compulsory and prerequisite for the core courses. The latter are also compulsory and cover many of the areas which a physicist has to master. On completion of these, the student will take a number of specialized courses. These aim to familiarize the student with concepts and topics that will be relevant to his final year projetc work, and will help define his professional orientation on graduation.
The programme contains compulsory courses offered by other departments, such as Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Foreign Languages.
Finally, the programme requires the student to take University electives outside the Department to complement the main area of studies. These options are selected in consultation with the Academic Advisor.
